Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal chemical desulfurization agent preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a coal gas desulfurization agent with high desulfurization-regeneration performance. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the three major fossil fuels, coal's fundamental energy importance in economic development is unshakeable. However, the various environmental problems caused by the direct combustion of coal cannot be ignored. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation technology, based on the clean and efficient utilization of coal, has been widely adopted in many countries and regions. Coal gas, as the power and feedstock source in IGCC technology, contains a large amount of sulfides, more than 90% of which is hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Hydrogen sulfide not only corrodes industrial equipment and poisons catalysts, but also poses a threat to the ecological environment and human health when released into the atmosphere. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide must be completely removed from coal gas before use.

[0003] Dry desulfurization utilizes metal oxides in solid-phase desulfurizing agents to convert and remove H2S through chemical reactions. This method has advantages such as simple process flow, no wastewater or waste acid treatment issues, low energy consumption, low equipment corrosivity, and low cost. Studies have shown that desulfurizing agents with zinc oxide as the active component have higher desulfurization precision and efficiency than other oxide desulfurizing agents. However, zinc oxide is prone to volatilization during high-temperature regeneration, leading to loss of active components and severe performance degradation. Copper oxide has a strong affinity and adsorption capacity for hydrogen sulfide. Some researchers have found that copper oxide desulfurizing agents have high desulfurization precision, are less affected by temperature, and have good regeneration performance.

[0004] However, current dry desulfurization technologies suffer from drawbacks such as large desulfurizing agent loading, frequent agent replacement, difficulty in regenerating spent desulfurizing agents, and challenges in solid waste treatment. While existing desulfurizing agent preparation methods and regeneration processes are relatively mature, they still suffer from drawbacks such as high regeneration temperatures, difficulty in regeneration leading to short service life, and high operating costs. Therefore, existing desulfurizing agents cannot meet the requirements of practical industrial applications, and developing novel, highly efficient, and regenerable solid desulfurizing agents with high desulfurization efficiency, speed, and selectivity remains one of the goals of gas desulfurization technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a coal gas desulfurizer with high desulfurization-regeneration performance, so as to solve the problems of low utilization rate of active components and poor sulfidation-regeneration performance of desulfurizer during the reaction process, and ultimately improve the sulfidation and recycling performance of desulfurizer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is a method for preparing a high-desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer, comprising the following steps: immersing a silica nanofiber aerogel carrier sequentially in a mixed solution of zinc nitrate and cobalt nitrate, a NaNO3 solution, a NaF solution, and a NaCl solution to obtain a desulfurizer precursor; subjecting the desulfurizer precursor to low-temperature calcination to generate the active component ZnCo2O4 in the silica nanofiber aerogel carrier, thereby obtaining the high-desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer.

[0008] Furthermore, the porosity of the silica nanofiber aerogel carrier is 95-99.99%, and the diameter of the silica nanofibers is 100-1000 nm.

[0009] Furthermore, in the mixed solution of zinc nitrate and ferric nitrate, the molar ratio of zinc nitrate to ferric nitrate is 1:2, and the concentration of zinc nitrate is 0.1 mol / L.

[0010] Furthermore, the concentrations of the NaNO3 solution, NaF solution, and NaCl solution are all 5-8 mmol / L.

[0011] Furthermore, during the soaking treatment, the volume ratio of the silica nanofiber aerogel carrier to the mixed solution of zinc nitrate and cobalt nitrate, NaNO3 solution, NaF solution, and NaCl solution is 1:1; and the soaking time is 24 hours.

[0012] The sequential immersion of the silica nanofiber aerogel carrier in a mixed solution of zinc nitrate and cobalt nitrate, NaNO3 solution, NaF solution, and NaCl solution constitutes an equal-volume impregnation process between the aerogel solid and liquid components, allowing the carrier to completely absorb the impregnation solution. The sequential immersion in NaNO3, NaF, and NaCl solutions, rather than in a mixed solution of NaNO3, NaF, and NaCl, is to avoid competition between different ions, thereby improving the impregnation loading effect and ensuring that all ions are impregnated and loaded onto the carrier.

[0013] Furthermore, the specific parameters for the low-temperature calcination include: an oxygen concentration of 1-4 vol%, a microwave power of 1500-3000 W, a calcination temperature of 250-400℃, and a calcination time of 2 h.

[0014] The second technical solution of the present invention: a high desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer prepared by the above preparation method.

[0015] Furthermore, the high desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer uses silica nanofiber aerogel as a carrier, and the carrier is loaded with the active component ZnCo2O4, which can be called ZnCo2O4 / silica nanofiber aerogel composite desulfurizer.

[0016] Furthermore, the ZnCo2O4 content in the high desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer is 57.5 wt%.

[0017] The third technical solution of the present invention: a regeneration method for the above-mentioned high desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer, comprising the following steps: using a mixed gas with an oxygen concentration of 2 vol%, at a temperature of 450°C for 2000 h. -1 The high-performance desulfurization-regeneration coal gas desulfurizer after desulfurization reaction is regenerated at a space velocity of 0.5 to obtain the regenerated coal gas desulfurizer.

[0018] Furthermore, the mixed gas is a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen (i.e., nitrogen is used as the balance gas), which can be expressed as 2 vol% oxygen + 98 vol% nitrogen.

[0019] Furthermore, the specific operation of the desulfurization reaction is as follows: a high-performance desulfurization-regeneration gas desulfurizer is placed in a fixed-bed reactor and reacted at a rate of 2000 h⁻¹. -1 Gas is introduced at air velocity and desulfurization reaction is carried out at 500℃.

[0020] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0021] This invention uses silica nanofiber aerogel as a carrier, and then prepares a ZnCo2O4 / silica nanofiber aerogel composite desulfurizer through methods such as metal salt solution impregnation and low-temperature calcination. It has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) This invention uses silica nanofiber aerogel as a carrier to prepare desulfurizer. It utilizes the open pore structure, high flexibility and stable physical structure of nanofiber aerogel, and combines the excellent wear resistance and heat resistance of silica nanofiber. While providing support for the overall structure of the desulfurizer, the stable physical structure and rich pore structure of nanofiber aerogel can promote the adsorption and reaction process of desulfurizer and maintain the long-term cyclic use performance of desulfurizer.

[0023] (2) The process steps of the present invention are simple, highly controllable, and easy to operate, which can meet the large market demand. The silica nanofiber aerogel has good support, high flexibility, high toughness and strength, high porosity and large specific surface area, and can realize multi-component composite and multi-level structure synergy.

[0024] (3) More importantly, this invention combines zinc and cobalt, which not only forms a composite oxide, improving the stability of zinc and the regeneration performance of the desulfurizer, but also reduces the stability of the composite oxide's lattice structure based on the size difference between zinc and cobalt ions. Furthermore, by utilizing the lattice diffusion of zinc and cobalt ions during low-temperature calcination, the migration of alkali metal sodium, the generation of oxygen vacancies by non-metallic fluorine and chlorine, and the promoting effect of microwave radiation on metal ion migration, a significant Kirkendall effect is generated. This leads to a large number of lattice defects (metal ion defects and oxygen vacancies) in the zinc-cobalt composite oxide, and even transforms it into a hollow structure (such as...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown); based on this, after the desulfurization reaction, due to the substitution process of sulfur ions and oxygen ions, but the diffusion rates of these two ions are different, the Kirkendall effect of metal ions still exists, and a large number of lattice defects (metal ion defects and sulfur vacancies, such as...) will still be generated. Figure 3 (As shown). Taking the oxygen regeneration process of the desulfurizer as an example, the presence of lattice defects in the sulfide products not only facilitates the adsorption and dissociation of oxygen, but also helps to weaken the chemical bonds between metal and sulfur, reduce the activation energy of bond breaking, and thus lower the regeneration reaction temperature. This allows the desulfurizer to avoid the adverse effects of high-temperature sintering, maintain a high gas-solid reaction rate and mass transfer efficiency, and improve the recyclability of the desulfurizer. Tests show that the desulfurizer prepared by the method of this invention not only achieves a single-use active component utilization rate of 95.77%, but also achieves a regeneration rate of 97% even when the regeneration reaction temperature is reduced to 450℃. After ten sulfide-regeneration cycles, the active component utilization rate is still 92.53%. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Various modifications and variations can be made to the specific embodiments described in this specification without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Other embodiments derived from this specification will also be apparent to those skilled in the art. This specification and embodiments are merely exemplary.

[0033] The terms “include,” “including,” “have,” “contain,” etc., used in this article are all open-ended terms, meaning that they include but are not limited to.

[0034] In the following examples and comparative examples, room temperature or ambient temperature specifically refers to 20-25°C.

[0035] The silica nanofiber aerogel carriers used in the following examples and comparative examples have a porosity of 99%, and the average diameter of the silica nanofibers is 500 nm. Silica nanofiber aerogel carriers are commercially available or can be prepared using conventional methods, such as airflow-assisted electrospinning, nanofiber remodeling, and freeze-drying to prepare silica nanofiber aerogels from SiO2. Specific preparation details are not limited, as long as the requirements for porosity and average nanofiber diameter are met. Specific preparation details do not affect the technical effectiveness of this solution.

[0036] The testing and calculation methods for sulfur capacity, active component utilization rate, and desulfurizer regeneration rate in the following examples and comparative examples are as follows:

[0037] The desulfurization performance of the samples was evaluated using breakthrough sulfur capacity as the indicator. The H2S concentration in the inlet gas was 1000 ppm. When the H2S concentration in the outlet gas reached 300 ppm, it was considered that the desulfurizing agent had broken through; the time taken for this to occur was considered the breakthrough time. Breakthrough sulfur capacity is converted into the mass (g) of elemental sulfur absorbed by 100g of desulfurizing agent from the start of the experiment until the breakthrough time. The detailed calculation method is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Where: F is the flow rate of the simulated gas (mL / min), M s The molar mass of S is 32.06 g / mol, and the molar mass of V is V. m The molar volume of the gas at 25℃ and 101.325 kPa is 24.5 L / mol; C0 and C represent the inlet and outlet concentrations of H2S (ppm), respectively; M 脱硫剂 Corresponding to the mass (g) of the desulfurizing agent.

[0040] Utilization rate of active components = actual sulfur capacity / theoretical sulfur capacity × 100%.

[0041] Regeneration rate = (mass of desulfurizer lost during regeneration / mass of desulfurizer increased during desulfurization reaction) × 100%.

[0046] (3) Preparation of high desulfurization-regeneration performance coal gas desulfurizer: The desulfurizer precursor obtained in step (2) was subjected to microwave low-temperature calcination in a mixed gas (1 vol% oxygen + 99 vol% nitrogen) with an oxygen concentration of 1 vol% and a microwave power of 1500 W.

[0074] The desulfurizing agent (0.1 g) prepared in this embodiment was placed in a fixed-bed reactor and reacted at a space velocity of 2000 h⁻¹. -1 Texaco simulated coal gas is introduced and a desulfurization reaction is carried out at 500°C until absorption saturation.

[0075] After the desulfurization reaction was completed, the sulfur capacity of the desulfurizing agent was found to be 25.99%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 92.49%.

[0076] Subsequently, a mixed gas with an oxygen volume concentration of 2 vol% (2 vol% oxygen + 98 vol% nitrogen) was used at a temperature of 450°C and a space velocity of 2000 h⁻¹. -1 The desulfurizing agent is then regenerated for 3 hours to obtain regenerated desulfurizing agent, which is then used in the desulfurization reaction of Texaco simulated coal gas under the same conditions.

[0078] Comparative Example 1

[0079] Commercially available ZnCo2O4 was used as the active component, and a desulfurizing agent was prepared by mechanically mixing ZnCo2O4 and silica nanofiber aerogel at a certain mass ratio (57.5:42.5).

[0080] The specific operation of mechanical mixing is as follows: ZnCo2O4 is dispersed in water to prepare a ZnCo2O4 dispersion with a concentration of 0.1 mol / L. Silica nanofiber aerogel is added, and after mechanical stirring for 3 hours, the silica nanofiber aerogel is taken out and dried to obtain a desulfurizing agent (the ZnCo2O4 content in the desulfurizing agent is 57.5 wt%).

[0086] After desulfurization, regeneration was carried out under the same conditions as in Example 1. After ten sulfidation / regeneration cycles, the regeneration rate of the desulfurizing agent was 83%, the sulfur capacity decreased to 22.19%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 78.97%.

[0087] Comparative Example 3

[0088] Same as Example 1, except that the operation in step (2) is as follows: the silica nanofiber aerogel carrier after the impregnation treatment in step (1) is soaked in equal volumes of 5 mmol / L NaF solution and NaCl solution for 24 h to obtain the desulfurizing agent precursor.

[0089] Under the same desulfurization reaction experimental conditions as in Example 1, the initial sulfur capacity of the desulfurizer prepared in this comparative example was tested to be 24.61%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 87.58%.

[0090] After desulfurization, regeneration was carried out under the same conditions as in Example 1. After ten sulfidation / regeneration cycles, the regeneration rate of the desulfurizing agent was 84%, the sulfur capacity decreased to 21.01%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 74.77%.

[0091] Comparative Example 4

[0092] Same as Example 1, except that in step (3), the roasting heating method is changed to a conventional non-microwave heating method. The low-temperature roasting temperature is 300℃ and the roasting time is 2h.

[0093] Under the same desulfurization reaction experimental conditions as in Example 1, the initial sulfur capacity of the desulfurizer prepared in this comparative example was tested to be 18.78%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 66.83%.

[0094] After desulfurization, regeneration was carried out under the same conditions as in Example 1. After ten sulfidation / regeneration cycles, the regeneration rate of the desulfurizing agent was 80.8%, the sulfur capacity decreased to 13.57%, and the utilization rate of the active component was 48.29%.

[0095] Test Example 1

[0096] The desulfurizing agent prepared in Example 1 was characterized by HRTEM, and its HRTEM characterization pattern is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, a, b, and c (the circled part in c represents metal ion defects) represent TEM images at different magnifications, d is the lattice analysis of the composite metal oxide in the desulfurizing agent, e is the morphology image of the desulfurizing agent, and fj is the elemental distribution map of the desulfurizing agent. Figure 1 It can be seen that the desulfurizing agent contains a large number of metal ion vacancies, and the elements Si, N, O, Zn and Co are evenly distributed, which proves the successful synthesis of ZnCo2O4.

[0097] The desulfurizing agent prepared in Example 1 and the desulfurizing agent prepared in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to EPR characterization. The EPR characterization diagrams of the two are shown below. Figure 2 As shown in the EPR characterization diagram, the oxygen vacancy concentration of the two is compared. It can be seen from the EPR characterization diagram that the desulfurizer prepared in Example 1 contains a large number of oxygen vacancies.

[0098] After the desulfurizing agent prepared in Example 1 underwent one desulfurization reaction, it was characterized again by HRTEM. The TEM characterization image of the desulfurizing agent after the desulfurization reaction is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, a, b, and c (the circled part in c represents metal ion defects) represent TEM images at different magnifications; d and e are lattice analyses of the composite metal oxide after the desulfurization reaction; f is the morphology of the desulfurizing agent; and g and k are elemental distribution diagrams. Figure 3 It can be seen that the desulfurizing agent still contains a large number of metal ion vacancies after the desulfurization reaction.
